What I liked

I enjoyed the chemistry between Joseph and Ali, their scenes felt the most right in terms of pacing and I liked the way the actors played with each other.

The show really shines in the scenes that aren’t about masculinity or trying to appear straight; when the scenes are rooted in love, the work really elevates into art.

What I didn't like

I wish the transitions were just a bit tighter and some of the dialogue moved at a faster clip.

My overall impression

A fun way to spend 90 minutes with a cute soundtrack and dedicated actors.
